There are rumours flying around the internet that Blaine, the newest addition to Glee, might be questioning his sexuality in an upcoming episode.
When this rumour first broke a few days ago I was extremely flippant about it. After all, every bit of press for Blaine on Glee has raved about how he's a confident gay teen, and how refreshing that is for television.
I mean, why fuck with that potential?
I'm still taking the rumour with a grain of salt, but Perez Hilton just posted the story as well, so I'm starting to get anxious.
If this does turn out to be true, I very much doubt I'll be able to keep watching. They could have any of the characters on the show question their sexuality; how about one of the well-known straight guys? If they decide to go with Blaine, of all people, I will be so fucking angry.
Because I've started to really like Glee! I love Kurt and Blaine, and the friendship and potential romance they're straddling right now. I love the community I've been participating in since Blaine first appeared on the show, and I would be sad to see any of that end, but...
I genuinely don't think I'll be able to stomach this complete bullshit of a storyline.
RYAN MURPHY, PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS.

Date: 2011-02-14 01:37 am (UTC)Not about Glee specifically, since I don't watch, but about how gay characters end up straight/bi more often than the opposite, which sucks. I mean, it's not even realistic... Why should someone who's gone through the whole trouble of coming out suddenly figure out he wasn't even gay after all, but just going through a phase or... what?! Anyway. Not that it is impossible, of course (some people are actually more comfortable with plain homosexuality than hazy in-betweens like... pansexuality?), but, duh.

Still, *sympathy*
ETA: Maybe it'll be more like a Jack McPhee sexuality-questioning? Maybe?

That made me heave a huge sigh of relief, and I took my own (much angrier than yours, lol) rant down off of my LJ. I would have been so *pissed* - not just because of the K/B fuckery, but because they already have two bisexual characters on the show (B + S) that they seem to have totally forgotten about.
I'm getting my *zen* on and hoping for the best. :)
